Abstract: Modern science and technology have made enormous strides in medicine and healthcare to reduce the danger of early childhood mortality. Even so, many nations fall well short of the basic Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) objectives, which are meant to lower the death rate of children under five. Under five child mortality rates can be one of the indicators of describing the development of the country; the lesser the value of mortality, the better the country for a child in terms of survival and may be treated as a measure of health care facilities. Over the past few decades, child mortality in India has significantly decreased, contributing to the country's achievement of the fourth Millennium Development Goal (MDG 4). However, the death rate for children under five is still somewhat high, and significant work will be required to meet the SDG target and lower the present rate of under-five deaths. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the factors that contribute to under-5 fatalities at this point in order to lessen the likelihood that a kid will survive. This study's primary goal is to investigate and pinpoint the variables linked to child mortality rate in India under the age of five.
